Ah yes. That’s how Marxism rolls. Stuck in their tiny government owned apartments, surrounded by garbage, compliant and eating bugs.
Any word on when all the free stuff kicks in?
Sanitation doesn’t remove snow, Public Works doesn’t collect trash. Most folks familiar with city government know this. Why don’t you? But to your point there has been a good amount of snow accumulation including ice. That said, a municipality like NYC unprepared, underfunded, ill equipped or understaffed to deliver services for the citizenry is a reflection of the ineptitude of the city leaders. NYC residents pay exorbitant taxes. Granted many were foolish to elect Mamdonenothing as their mayor but as the old saying goes: “Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you” 
Hahaha.
You are joking right
The city of New York department of sanitation engages in snow removal and street salting etc.
You are correct people who know the city of New York works know this.
There is no such thing as the department of public works in the city of New York. Not for decades. This ain’t 1968
We’ll slap me silly and call me happy! During my working years (retired in 2017), my company did contract work for Baltimore City. Snow removal was done by DPW, SHA, private contractors and even private citizens.
Growing up in my hometown of Pittsburgh, where the recent snowfalls were a day at the beach, snow removal was always done by the DPW.
But as you say, it’s not 1968 anymore

Who maintains water/sewer/drainage systems? Who keeps streetlights and traffic lights operating? Who patches potholes? They can call it whatever they like, but it is still public works.
Traffic lights are installed and maintained and a third party company although the city obviously maintains the records etc There are two of them
The dep controls sewers
The potholes are controlled by the dot
They do call it whatever they like and none of those things are department of public works
That’s a specific department that exists in some cities.
Public works is a generic term.
You can play pedant again now
Like you are? 
What Department keeps the heat on?
Lemme guess, Trump’s fault.

Al Gore’s fault. He warned 'em that the world would be on fire and NYC would be under water by now, so they didn’t plan for cold.

Why would it be trumps fault. Pick a mayor. Pick a winter pick a time when landlords didnt have issues with furnaces.
You worked for a city. You think that furnaces are fixed by city agencies?
It’s nice fodder for you guys though.
Hundreds of articles to go over the next 4-8 years listening how mayors are suddenly responsible for every building repairing its heating systems immediately.
By the way. The city fines the ever living crap out of them
See this is an actually correct response. 
Sarcasm, ever heard of it?

I couldn’t see it cuz An Italian being sarcastic without hand gestures or facial expressions is impossible to read 
Yes, I did subcontract work for Baltimore City DPW and The Housing Authority. Our work had to do with servicing water, waste water, storm water, sewer and steam pipelines and associated structures. When I was working City projects, Wheelabrator operated a waste to energy incinerator facility that generated steam to heat public housing properties, government buildings, hospitals, clinics and other buildings in the city. During my 34 years in that industry I never heard of a loss of heat to “tens of thousands” of residents. Granted Baltimore isn’t NYC but if there was a problem, it wasn’t of that magnitude. And BTW, winters occasionally got brutal there too. It snowed 31 inches one winter and the Chesapeake Bay froze over. I was in a hunting camp in Charles County and although I had a 4X 4 Big Ford Bronco I couldn’t get home for almost a week! Boy was my boss and wife pissed.

And ICE doesn’t specialize in crowd control. Most people familiar with government know this.
That’s actually very true. You just quoted the Minnesota police union head that has been pleading to allow local LEOs support the Federal agents. He went on to say the state, county and local departments have the training and experience in crowd and traffic control citing the chaos, madness and mayhem from the Floyd riots.
